Question for anyone who has built a home gym in the UK

[Nockian]

The rack I currently have is a piece of junk. However I don't have the ceiling height in my garage for an ss rack. Once I have my purpose built space I will get the ss rack or similar.

Nice. I’m waiting for the Rogue DL bar to restock. Going to get the add on matador dip bars and the aluminium bar collars. The ones I have just don’t hold on tightly during dead’s.

Rogue's aluminum collars with fracture within a few hundred cycles. We've replacing all of the ones in the gym.

Nice. Post a picture when you have it.

Thanks for the warning

Do you have a preference on the collars you use in your gym Rip? At the moment I'm using Rogue's spring collars, the ones with the long handles on the springs, and they have been working great for me at home, but I've heard good and bad on them.

That’s useful to know. What do you recommend ?

Never buy any cyclically-loaded part made out of aluminum.

We are using the LockJaw Hex 50mm collars, on Amazon. They work very well, but we just got them so I have no idea about lifespan.
